Brooklyn lawyers. Near the courts. In your borough.

Our Brooklyn office sits in Downtown Brooklyn near Cadman Plaza — steps from the Brooklyn courthouses and on every subway line that matters. We handle workers’ comp, SSDI, personal injury, and the Scaffold Law construction cases that make Brooklyn one of the most active PI markets in the state. Bilingual from first call.

Brooklyn is building. We represent the people building it.

The Brooklyn skyline never stops going up — and that means construction workers, riggers, electricians, and laborers are getting hurt at high rates. Our Brooklyn office handles a heavy Scaffold Law (NY Labor Law §240) caseload against the general contractors and property owners responsible.

Beyond construction, Brooklyn brings us a deep working-class client base: home health aides, delivery drivers, restaurant staff, MTA workers, building service employees. The borough’s immigrant and bilingual populations are core to our practice. Spanish, Haitian Creole, and West African dialects are common in our intake — Spanish is bilingual-equivalent service.

Verified Google reviews from this region.

★★★★★

"Fell from a scaffold in Bay Ridge. The GC tried to push it on me. Mike walked me through the Scaffold Law — strict liability, they have to pay. Settled for life-changing money."

★★★★★

"Home health aide, lifted a patient wrong, back went out. The Brooklyn office handled the WC case and the SSDI together. I got the maximum because they coordinated it right."

Beatrice K.
Workers' Comp + SSDI · Brooklyn
★★★★★

"Hit by a livery cab on Atlantic Ave. Three surgeries. Their Brooklyn team kept me informed every step. Settled before trial — the cab company's insurance paid."
